Re: New Plan, New Chapter for progression
Sheila,
I am saying strong prayers for you. I understand the concern for your two babies...(have one of my own)
Is it possible to find temporary afforable housing
for the time you need to up in Chicago that permits pets.
Maybe you could look into that we have a few of them
here for the people who are relocating and require part time residence - they even have places that permits pets.
Go on line or ask your local real estate company if they have a connection of such a facility. Radiation can be draining...I used to make my appointment the last one at night around 8 PM so that I finished went home and went to bed. Making morning appt. or early afternoon appt. I found that if there was machine issues and delays I would sit for hours. But last appt. at night any issues were resolved during the day. Hope this helps.
Wish I had family in Chicago to open their doors to you.
Also to consider maybe a college student looking to earn some dollars would be willing to be hired to drive you (at least for part of the treatments) which would give you a break. Love you Sheila and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Jean

Re: New Plan, New Chapter for progression
Sheila,
I drove myself my seven weeks of rads, but it was only an hour each way. Not so bad, but the fatigue did start setting in as I got closer to the end of treatment. Maybe at that point you could give yourself a break midweek. Stay over on Tuesday night or Wednesday night if Dad can keep the babies! He just might enjoy one night a week with the granddogs!
I have no doubt you will scare this beast to passivity yet again!
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Re: New Plan, New Chapter for progression
Sheila,
You are in my prayers EVERY day...but I'll pray especially hard while you're starting your trip toward 70! After all you've been through, rads should be a breeze! You are an inspiration!
Your "babies" are beautiful! They must bring so much joy into your home! I can definitely understand why you would be reluctant to be away from them. Stupid Cancer! 
I have to admit, when I had radiation, I was fine until week 5...then the fatigue became overwhelming. Driving...in winter...would not have been a good idea. Just something to consider. Were you fatigued during your rads in 2009?
All the best!
Denise

Re: New Plan, New Chapter for progression
Hi Sheila,
So sorry to hear about your progression. Remember you have the best docs on the planet at Rush/Chicago...so I am confident you will get the best treatment possible. That radiation department at Rush is impressive...You might want to message me off line, but where do you live? We have an apartment in the Chicago suburbs with my mom but our permanent home is on a lake 150 miles west of Chicago. We spend our time between the two places, since we both can work remotely. I would be willing to help you out, drive you to radiation etc. just so you have a buddy to talk to! Let me know if I can help you. Or possibly I can watch those beautiful labs of yours...I would love to get my hands on those 2 cuties!!! Our lake property is lab heaven!! We have two Jack Russell terriers. 10 years...you are a warrior!!!

Re: New Plan, New Chapter for progression
Shelia, Thanks so much for the update- I'd been thinking about you and praying for good news. I think the radiation will really help, but from what I remember- it is very tiring and causes alot of inflammation, making you feel worn down. The radiation feels alot like a sunburn that goes right through your body, but thankfully the symptoms don't start until about week 2. For your drive bring comfy clothes, nothing that presses or rubs on the area, I really liked shirts that buttoned in the front, but I had radiation to my chest and axilla. I'd suggest to schedule your daily radiation and drive when you are most awake and ask your team if there is the possibility of moving your appointment time on short notice, like if your having a rough day or are caught in traffic. I'd hate for you to be rushing through Chicago traffic, tired and worried about missing your appointment. Remember, all the radiation, chemo and therapies are worthless if you don't make it there in one piece. 
Best of luck & love you!
Kristin

Re: New Plan, New Chapter for progression
Sheila, Just sending good thoughts on the new plan of action. I agree with your comments....as I was out and about yesterday, I was pondering how I try to live my life around dealing with cancer treatment....trying not to give into it too much....yet, there certainly are revisions and adjustments along the way. May God bless you. With admiration, Ceesun

Re: New Plan, New Chapter for progression
Sheila, this is exactly why you are such an inspiration to all of us.There is no doubt in my mind you will be here in 10 more years and the 10 after and so on. Stay strong and keep fighting for your health. Eventually we will do that lunch. I could even meet you if you are up to it following one of your rads appt's. Let me know if you are up to it. Nothing like a cafeteria lunch huh!!!!

Re: New Plan, New Chapter for progression
I am fairly new to this disease, it's progression, it's diagnoses, and so on. But how impressive you all are in your kind offers to you, Sheila, as you are faced with the next step in your plan. I have learned by reading your posts on this thread and others what a caring group of people you are when another has news to be shared. Unless you have been through any of this, it is difficult to understand the feelings we all share. Most of you have dealt with much more than I, but your genuine words of encouragement and hope and friendship to all others are an inspiration. If I lived near any of you, I would drive with you or meet you or something. No one is alone through all this. Sheila, I pray for strength and endurance as you go into this round of radiation. You are a fighter.

Re: New Plan, New Chapter for progression
Shiela
I wish you the best in your new treatment. You are
truly a remarkable person, strong and you have been
through so much. Now is the time for you. You deserve
the breakthrough this time and I will pray that this is it.
I only wish I was closer to help. Maybe someone can
since fatigue is the worst at the end of rads. God bless
your Dad and your babies are so cute with snow on their
noses. Take care.

Re: New Plan, New Chapter for progression
Not to make you anxious, but food for thought if any way to lessen likelihood and perhaps prevent:
one of the rare complications of regular whole breast radiation therapy is brachioplexopathy, which usually occurs years later and can be debilitating and painful.
Since this radiation is not for the whole breast but SPECIFICALLY FOR the area near/adjacent to/possibly including the brachial plexus, I would get a second opinion on the radiation therapy aspect of it--are there any techniques, what does/does not need to be in the field, different types of brachial plexus treatments which might lessen the likelihood of that.
As I recall you are a nurse by training, so would be able to feel comfortable interpreting what they tell you.
I know little about radiation therapy, but know Stanford and a few other places (Stanford has the most experience) are using cyberknife for things other than brain tumors/mets, where it is of ultimate importance to have pinpoint accuracy of delivery of the SRS. I will try to later look up brachial plexus and radiation therapy (I am currently travelling) and see who might have written papers on it. Feel free to do so via ENTREZ PUBMED in the meantime.
Frank Vicini in Detroit seems also to be an expert on breast radiation, APBI. but you may need someone who is not necessarily a breast radiaiton expert
This may come up with radiation for sarcomas etc ie sparing the brachial plexus.
There may be no way to spare it since it is close if not involved, but perhaps IMRT or other techniques. There is no data to support using proton beam from what I looked up in the past, but this may have changed (lots of hype on proton beam, for which they charge huge amounts, but little data)
Is it the brachial plexus on your dominant (handed) side?
Since you are trying to irradiate near/at something which can suffer from the radiation therapy in a way that would affect your life (very rare for wbr, I don;t know the chances w radiation at/near it) I would certainly want to be sure they had the opportunity to think through all the options and choose the one they would want if it was their own problem!

Re: New Plan, New Chapter for progression
First thank you all for the offers of support, rides, dog sitting...what an amazing group...wish I could hug each and everyone of you in person.
I had the "mapping" done Thursday...I did not realize they make a mask out of mesh that is warm, then cools as they shape it and mold it tightly to your head, neck and upper chest....it ends up being a hard shell cast that I will wear each time and it is bolted down to the table.
I was also marked and a bolus pad placed for a sub pectoral node they want to blast. I will be receiving Tomo Radiation....which is done in slices to deliver a precise dose. They said this is due to the brachial plexus and the structures in the neck. I was tattooed and will begin the radiation on the 20th for 7 weeks, 5 times a week.
Lani, this may define more on the radiation type and area of my neck it will be.

I got to make an unexpected trip to Chicago again Friday with my little grandaughter Jasmine as her rod in her spine broke again from an incident on the school bus....she had to go to Shriners in Chicago, and will be having 2 new rods placed in her final surgery after she gets clearance and a picc line placed at Childrens in Chicago....sometimes you have to wonder why everything happens at once!

Re: New Plan, New Chapter for progression
Sheila,
I had the same mask procedure when my brain was zapped with IMRT targeted radiation. You will get rid of those neck nodes with some zaps. Thanks for the link about the Tomo radiation.
Jasmine is as strong as you are and she will come through! Praying for both of you.
Joan

Cancer advanced to lung in Jan. 2007 (1 cm nodule). Started Herceptin every 3 weeks. Lung wedge resection April 2007. Cancer recurred in lung April 2008. RFA of lung in August 2008. 2nd annual brain MRI in Oct. 2008 discovered 2.6 cm cystic tumor in left frontal lobe. Craniotomy Oct. 2008 (ER-/PR-/HER2-) followed by targeted radiation (IMRT). Coughing up blood Feb. 2009. Thoractomy July 2009 to cut out fungal ball of common soil fungus (aspergillus) that grew in the RFA cavity (most likely inhaled while gardening). No cancer, only fungus. Removal of tiny melanoma from upper left arm, plus sentinel lymph node biopsy in Feb. 2016. Guardant Health liquid biopsy in Feb. 2016 showed mutations in 4 subtypes of TP53. Repeat of Guardant Health biopsy in Jana. 2021 showed 3 TP53 mutations, BRCA1 mutation and CHEK2 mutation. Invitae genetic testing showed negative for all of these. Living with MBC since 2007. Stopped Herceptin Hylecta (injection) treatment in March 2020. Recent 2021 annual CT of chest, abdomen and pelvis and annual brain MRI showed NED. Praying for NED forever!!

Re: New Plan, New Chapter for progression
Congratulations on meeting your first set of goals, you are certainly remarkable! I hope you reach your next goals, and I know those beautiful dogs are wagging their tails in hope. Why do you have to go so far for treatment? I wouldn't like that either, I hate long trips. I have to go to San Francisco in March for a follow-up with my UCSF surgeon and I"m dreading it. It's 100 miles.
I hope you can work something out that is easy on you and enjoy the next ten, twenty and thirty years!
